Step-by-step itinerary

Sunset catamaran cruise with snacks

The Experience

The boat leaves Puerto Banús in the late afternoon, and the crew handles the timing so you arrive on the water as the light starts to shift. Daria is built for this—a catamaran with a wide trampoline deck where you can stretch out, and the drinks and snacks flow throughout: beer, water, soft drinks, a courtesy glass of cava or wine, and snacks. The professional crew knows the coastline and positions the boat to catch the best views of the sunset over Marbella from the sea, and there's room to move around for photographs.

What you do on the water depends on the day. When the wind is favorable, the crew raises the sails for an authentic sailing experience. Swimming is possible if sea conditions allow it—that's a choice you make once you're aboard and can see the water. Paddle boards, kayaks and fishing rods are available if you want to move beyond the deck. Snorkelling equipment is included. The activity itself is planned on the day according to what the conditions offer, so there's no fixed itinerary to memorize; the crew adapts.

The cruise runs two hours. Restrooms are on board. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller, and small children sit on an adult's lap. Service animals are welcome if you let the operator know in advance. Bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen—the sun on the water is direct, and you're exposed for the whole sail.

Top questions

Can I swim during the Marbella catamaran sunset cruise?

Swimming is possible during the cruise, but it depends on sea conditions on the day—the crew assesses the water and makes the call once you're aboard. If conditions allow, you can jump in; if not, you stay on the deck.

What water sports are included on the cruise from Puerto Banús?

Paddle boards, kayaks, fishing rods and snorkelling equipment are all included and available during the sail. Use of them is also subject to sea conditions, so not every departure will have the same options in the water.

Are drinks and snacks really included, or do I pay extra?

Drinks and snacks are included in the ticket price: beer, water, soft drinks, a courtesy glass of cava or wine, and snacks. No additional food or drinks beyond what's offered are included, but what's on board is free.

What happens if there's no wind—do the sails go up?

The crew raises the sails only when the wind is in your favor. On calm days, the catamaran motors instead, but you still get the same sunset views and the same two hours on the water with drinks and snacks.

How many people need to book for the sunset cruise to depart?

A minimum of 4 participants is required for the group sunset departure to run. If you're booking solo or with a small group, confirm the booking is confirmed before the departure date.

Is the cruise suitable for children and infants?

Yes—infants can ride in a pram or stroller, and small children sit on an adult's lap. The cruise is suitable for all physical fitness levels, and there's plenty of deck space to move around safely with kids.
